After Lauren and I finished our delicious breakfasts, we were ready to head out and explore more of Animal Kingdom. We decided to take a leisurely stroll over towards Expedition Everest and see what kind of wait times there were. On the way to Asia there was a special visitor passing through so we stopped to visit briefly! Devine!
It was the first time I had seen her come out of the foliage! There were also a bunch of people who had never seen her before and they were just in awe.
The wait time for Expedition Everest was only 10 minutes! Lauren wasn’t quite ready to ride yet after our big meal so she waited and I went and got in the single rider line. In about 2 minutes I was being sent up to be paired off - and I got to take a spin in the front seat!
I was very excited! I love big thrill rides and Everest is definitely a favourite of mine! I adore the yeti! I hurried through the gift shop to find Lauren and we went and got in line again!
After coming back down the mountain, we decided to head over to take a ride on Dinosaur. We noticed some other friends coming out for a visit, and with no line, we decided to pop over to see them!
We finished up the morning at AK by becoming honorary bugs at It’s Tough To Be A Bug and then wandered out to the bus stops. As we walked up to the stop we needed, the bus for DHS was pulling up to the curb - I’m telling you, we had the best luck with transportation!
We boarded the bus and off we went!
We didn’t spend a ton of time at Hollywood Studios but I definitely needed a spin on RNR and ToT!
But first, we headed straight over to Pixar Place to try and get fast passes for Toy Story Midway Mania. We knew it was a longshot, and we were right, they were long gone for the day!
But the wait wasn’t too bad, so we decided we would come back later. We headed back over to Rock N’ Roller Coaster and Tower Of Terror.
We walked over to the other side of the park afterwards. I had never noticed this billboard before!
We went and saw the Muppets and then headed back around to check out the Great Movie Ride. We walked around the courtyard before going inside and looked at the Mary Poppins premiere pictures in the windows. They didn’t really turn out well, but I got one that’s not too bad! (you can even spot my birthday button in it
)
After we went inside the movies, we decided we would take our chances and head back to check out the TSMM queue. Did we ride, or did we walk away disappointed? Find out in the next update!

You are so super sweet! You're giving me cavities!
I always associate Roger Rabbit with my first trip to WDW in 1992. The movie had come out recently and there was a ton of stuff in the parks about it. Even when I watch it now, thats what I think of! I was excited to see the billboard! Lauren just goes "how do you notice that kinda stuff?...."
Do you think she counts as 89? 
There were also 7 Cinderella's and 1 Belle
Woo Hoo for front seat on EE!!!!! Isn't that the best???? I love it! I am hoping to ride EE in the dark in a few weeks - wish me luck! 
I haven't had much of a chance to Dis as much as I would like! But there will be more to come! 
She will get coal in her stocking I think!
), I was supposed to go for a manicure and they didn't actually schedule me in so I couldn't get it, Lauren and I had a bit of a tiff (they never last long - no worries! We've been friends long enough that squabbles aren't a big deal)....stressed was my key word this weekend.

In anycase, here is another update!
